About Meredith
Dr. Meredith Poster is a New York Psychologist (NY Psychologist 014041) with 17 years of clinical experience. She works with adults and adolescents on concerns such as stress, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting, depression, addictions, and family of origin issues. She also addresses eating and sleeping difficulties, attention-related challenges, and grief.
Dr. Poster uses a blend of practical methods in sessions. She listens first, then helps people identify patterns that come from their family background. She uses clear problem-solving steps alongside mindfulness and cognitive techniques to reduce symptoms and change repetitive behaviors. Sessions often include discussion about communication and expectations within family roles.
Her training includes work with psychodynamic ideas and client-centered approaches, which means she pays attention to personal history and how people experience themselves. She also incorporates narrative elements to help people make sense of troubling stories from the past. These methods are used together rather than as separate steps.
Parents and caregivers may find her approach useful for blended family challenges, divorce and separation impacts, fatherhood issues, and parenting stress. She also supports people coping with addiction, compassion fatigue, and recovery from upsetting life events.
Dr. Poster describes herself as comfortable working in virtual settings and mixes validation with practical strategies. She and clients set treatment goals together and focus on skills that fit day-to-day life. To begin, readers are asked to follow the site's process to match and schedule an initial session.
Approaches used in online sessions
Dr. Poster uses Attachment-Based ideas to help people see how early bonds influence current relationships and closeness. This approach looks at typical patterns of relating and helps people change interaction habits that cause pain or distance.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening and understanding how a person experiences their world. That method helps people feel heard and develop their own solutions while the therapist follows their lead.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another part of her work and is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT provides concrete skills for managing anxiety, depression, and habits tied to family roles.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose approaches that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Over early sessions she and the client review what is helping and shift strategies when needed.
Session formats should be confirmed before booking since the biography does not specify exact options. Ask about available session types when you complete the matching questionnaire. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, or making it simpler to schedule around work and family obligations.
